Jesus is all knowing. He is always with you, and always knows whats happening. But he wants to hear it from you. This is why we pray and talk directly to Jesus.

That, I accept and have accepted as simple fact for a long time. However I just came up with an analogy that I think is rather suitable for it.

Take for instance, your friend on Facebook, Bob. You’ve known Bob since you were toddler playmates, you don’t live near each other anymore, rarely talk, but you’re friends on Facebook. From Facebook you gain a sense of what his schedule is like, you see pictures that he posts weekly from school for his grandparents and family, you see the posts and notes he’s tagged in, you see him write sad faces or happy faces, all of which give you a good perception of who he is, and what kind of mood he’s in. Even though you two haven’t talked for more than a year, you still know all about Bob. So why should you talk with Bob on the phone? Why should we take the time to leave Bob a message on his wall or Inbox?

Because Bob was a significant part of your lives. The two of you shared many memories from being little and watching each other grow up. And if the time came that Bob needed you, you’d be there in a moments notice. But still, you never talk to Bob and Bob never talks to you. So the possibility of a great friendship goes no where, and there’s nothing personal about it.

Thats how it is for us and Jesus. He knows all about what we’re doing, a hundred thousand times more than Facebook could ever tell him about us, but sometimes we don’t talk to him. Why is that? He knows how many hairs we have on our head, he knows how many blood cells are in our body, he knows how tall we are down to the smallest measurement possible. Yet still… We don’t take time to talk to him about how our day was.

Prayer is a two way conversation, take advantage of it.

= my life.

I did that last year. =)

Things are actually panning out quite well in some aspects of my life. Now, if only the issue of boredom from being cooped up at home the whole day can be solved…

Strange how the holidays seem to pass so quickly - I’ve barely been able to do anything besides my 4 day working stint at Sitex. It’s just that I’ve got so many things to do, so many commitments, that I can’t give my all to each of them. Well, let’s see.

• Church - TK Cell, P6 Cell, M4 Cell
• School
  • CT Council
    • Chinese New Year Adhoc
    • Sea Sports Carnival Adhoc
    • Ushering on 18 Dec
  • Re-papers
    • Math and Chem
  • Subje.ctif (the dot is there so it isn’t googlable)
    
    • Keeping the school blog, and running it
  • Holiday Homework (need I say more? :( )
• Friends
  • The list of friends to catch up with is uncountable… and I haven’t even been able to meet up with many at all.
• My Lovebird
  • This baby needs a lot of love
• Individual pursuits
• Volunteer work (Moderation)

Oh, it’s like everyone is tugging at me from all directions. I feel, so, so unholidayish. It doesn’t help that I get to use the computer only every like 2.5 days, and I don’t get to go overseas for a break because my family is so ultimately boring. We haven’t gone anywhere since 2004 or 2005 I think, all the times I went overseas were with church or school or friends.

=(

I better get something satisfying done.
